3D Printed Change Parts for Packaging Lines

Guide rail segments, conveyor wedges and transfers, starwheel and timing screw prototypes, label and cap guides, sensor brackets, and changeover tools.

What we do

A new bottle or carton size means new change parts, and OEM change parts take weeks. Printed parts can prove a new format, keep a line running while machined parts are made, or simply replace the plastic guides that wear out.

Send us the existing part or your CAD and the container spec. We model and print it in nylon or carbon fiber nylon, and you trial it on the line before ordering more.

What we make

Guide rail segments

Rail sections and brackets, with replaceable wear strips.

Conveyor wedges and transfers

Wedges, dead plates, and transfer guides.

Starwheel and timing screw prototypes

Trial parts to prove a new format before machining.

Label and cap guides

Guides and stops for labelers and cappers.

Sensor brackets

Mounts for photo eyes and vision cameras.

Changeover tools

Setting gauges and changeover aids.

Material by job

We choose the material from what the part has to survive, not from what it was originally made of.

Where the part livesMaterialWhy
Clips, latches, wearNylonTough and slightly flexible, so snap fits and latches do not crack.
Stiff brackets and mountsCarbon fiber nylonThe stiffest material we print, with high heat tolerance.
Wet or washdown areasPETGHandles water and many cleaners, a good indoor default.

What we will not make

We do not make parts that touch food or drink. FDM parts are not a sanitary surface and we are not an NSF certified source. Starwheels and timing screws are offered as trial parts; your engineers decide what runs in production.

How it works

One. Request a quote and describe the part. A photo helps. Two. Mail the part to the address we send you, every fragment included, or in metro Atlanta ask us to pick it up. Three. We model it and send the price and ship date. Four. Approve, and we print, finish, and ship the part back with your original.
